remus: blackhole replication target

The new --null option allows one to test and play with just the
memory checkpointing and network buffering aspect of remus, without
the need for a second host. The disk is not replicated. All replication
data is sent to /dev/null. This option is pretty handy when a user
wants to see the page churn for his workload or observe the latency hit
though the latter will not be accurate.
